Information on anime songs should come from either official sources and/or sources established as acceptable by AniDB. | |||
The following are acceptable sources for information on anime songs as defined by AniDB: | |||
* '''Official sources''' are sources that are (in)directly related to the song in question. These can include the band, music label, or anime's official website, but also the website of any online store where one can expect they legitimately sell the song or album. | |||
* '''VIDEO -''' OPs, EDs and insert songs are generally all given in the video. | * '''VIDEO -''' OPs, EDs and insert songs are generally all given in the video. | ||

Anime songs are usually played in an anime, if that wasn't obvious enough. We want of course to know where a song was played. When adding a relation you should set the proper relation, such as opening or ending and the version, which will be mostly "normal" anyway. You should also set the episode range the song is played. | Anime songs are usually played in an anime, if that wasn't obvious enough. We want of course to know where a song was played. When adding a relation, you should set the proper relation, such as opening or ending and the version, which will be mostly "normal" anyway. You should also set the episode range the song is played. | ||
====General Principles==== | |||
Most of the time, songs are credited with a credit type matching actual usage, or the song is not credited at all. It's only insert song credits that seem to somewhat often have a credit type mismatching the actual usage. The fact that credit type = usage for the other song types the vast majority of the time... is what allowed the "enter the credits" rule to effectively yield the same result as the other way around of "enter the usage" | |||
Therefore, ultimately the more fundamental solution is to enter the usage, and call out the fact that songs are "incorrectly" tagged as a given type when they are actually being used as not that type. This view of "tag the usage" creates less exceptions than "tag the credits", and provides a much simpler policy to follow. This policy was discussed [https://anidb.net/forum/thread/109453 here]. | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|If a song gets played as both opening and ending in different episodes, you should add both relations on their own, with the appropriate episodes listed.}} | |||
====Types of song-anime relations==== | |||
# Opening: The song was used during the opening sequence. For clarity, any song that plays (partially or fully) during the opening credits is deemed to be played during the "opening" sequence; as such, its song-episode relation for that episode is set as opening theme, regardless of how the song is credited in the episode credits. | |||
# Ending: The song was used during the ending sequence. For clarity, any song that plays (partially or fully) during the ending credits is deemed to be played during the "ending" sequence; as such, its song-episode relation for that episode is set as ending theme, regardless of how the song is credited in the episode credits. | |||
# Background music: The song was used as background music and is credited as such. | |||
# Insert song: The song was used as an insert song and is credited as such. | |||
# Theme song: The song was used as a theme song and is credited as such. | |||
# Image song: The song was credited as an image song, or was bundled with a character album of image songs for that character. Absent any specific credits for one of the above song types, a song can be marked image song for AniDB purposes. | |||
====Song-anime relations for uncredited songs==== | |||
Normally when songs are used in anime, they are added to AniDB without issue since they are credited in the credits section of the episode, and/or other reliable 3rd party sources such as Anison or the anime's official website. | |||
Sometimes, songs are not always fully credited in the anime credits. To aid with the documentation and crediting of '''uncredited''' song data, we document extra data in AniDB to support the song credit entry. | |||
Currently, [https://tracker.anidb.net/view.php?id=3539 AniDB does not have the ability] to add comments to song-anime-relations to document credit information. If/when this feature is implemented: | |||
# For credited songs, no notation regarding credit status is required in the song-anime-relation comment field. | |||
# For uncredited songs, document "Uncredited" credit status in the song-anime-relation comment field. | |||
## However, given this feature currently does not exist, the interim solution is to add this information via a comment CREQ to the song-anime-relation. | |||
## To support the documentation of uncredited songs, timestamp data could also be documented into CREQ messages. Timestamp data is considered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research original research], and not a source. | |||
## Comment CREQs used to document this information should be '''filed then immediately revoked''', so that they do not enter the CREQ queue. | |||
The standard template for adding such data into CREQ messages is as follows. For any corner cases, reasonable discretion should be used. | |||
CREQ NOTE TEMPLATE | |||
Ep 1: (~3:27, <<any special notes>>, Verified with file [File ID]); (~14:45, <<any special notes>>, Verified with files [File ID]|[File ID]) | |||
Ep 2: (~3:27, <<any special notes>>, Verified with file [File ID]) | |||
Ep O3: (~5:33, <<any special notes>>, Verified with file [File ID]) -- note O3 is the letter O, as in O type episodes | |||
Usage notes: | |||
# Providing the File ID is optional but highly encouraged, so that the timestamp can be proved if necessary. | |||
## The File ID must also be a live URL link to the file in question that was used to verify the timestamp. | |||
# The standard anime entry link is '''<nowiki>https://anidb.net/f99999</nowiki>''' where '''99999''' is the file ID of the file in question. | |||
# Optional: you can also add live URL links to each episode, using '''<nowiki>https://anidb.net/e999999</nowiki>''' as the standard entry link. | |||
# Special notes are used to describe any nuances for a particular timestamp, such as a timestamp coming from a specific release other than the original broadcast. | |||
# In instances where the song type (e.g. OP, ED, IN, etc) is needed to disambiguate, include the song types in [ ] square bracket tags. Please use the standard Anison 2-letter tags as [[Anison|found here]]. | |||
## BGM can be used for background music, as Anison does not currently have an acronym for it. | |||
Here is a fictitious example of a song that is used in the Psycho-Pass series multiple times. | |||
EXAMPLE | |||
Ep 1: (~3:27, TV Broadcast, Verified with file [url=https://anidb.net/file/1143174]ID1143174[/url]); (~14:45, BD/DVD, Verified with files [url=https://anidb.net/file/1179631]f1179631[/url]|[url=https://anidb.net/file/1418180]f1418180[/url]) -- note multiple files used for verification of both BD and DVD | |||
Ep 2: (~3:27, Verified with file [url=https://anidb.net/file/1145419]f1145419[/url]) | |||
Ep O3: (~5:33, New Edit, Verified with file [url=https://anidb.net/file/1447708]f1447708[/url]) -- note O3 is the letter O, as in O type episodes | |||

=====Generating Comment CREQs to document song-anime relation data===== | |||
[[File:Cmt_creq_songanimerel.png|600px|thumb|text-bottom|right|'''Step 1:''' click on the "Add/Edit Related Anime" button on the song's page.<br> | |||
'''Step 2:''' the 1st button is the CREQ History button.]] | |||
Currently, [https://tracker.anidb.net/view.php?id=3543 AniDB does not directly expose the Comment CREQ button] for song-anime-relations. The 2nd screenshot shows where the button would be, after the feature request is fulfilled. Otherwise, in lieu of a button, users can generate a Comment CREQ directly using the following link template: | |||
TEMPLATE | |||
<nowiki>https://anidb.net/admin/creq/?creq.cmt=1&id=<<Entry ID>>&tb=<<database table name>></nowiki> | |||
EXAMPLE | |||
https://anidb.net/admin/creq/?creq.cmt=1&id=44785&tb=songanimereltb | |||
The table name is always ''songanimereltb'' for song-anime-relations. The ID can be obtained by visiting a particular relation's creq history page (see screenshot), and getting it from the URL of the creq history page. | |||
For example, in this CREQ history page URL, '''44785''' is the song-anime-relation ID, and '''songanimereltb''' is the table. | |||
<nowiki>https://anidb.net/admin/creq/?do.showhistov=1&id=44785&table=songanimereltb</nowiki> | |||
